Amazing book!
The drawings in the book were very well done, and lovely to look at. It has a neat little poster in the front page of the book. As well as small details under the illustration (for a majority of them, however not all.) More in depth details of the illustrations are listed in the back of the book. As well as a few interviews on how Kishimoto developed his characters personality and appearance. Overall the book was amazing and definitely worth the money. Would recommend this art book to any Naruto fan!
Great gift
Great condition even though used. I'm not a fan of Naruto but my son is and he loved this. The artwork really is pretty cool.
Great artwork
Quality prints. I really love the art work and the poses. It is also interesting to see how the lineart is inked. It doesn't really have character info, but I wasn't expecting it to. This is the art book after all. The majority of the art work features team 7.
Absolutely love his art
Absolutely love his art, by far my favorite, but for this one I prefer watching the show and didn't wanna dump a bunch of money on getting both anime and manga so I picked up the art books and it pretty much comes with all my favorite pieces by him. Plus this one had about a paragraph in detail about each photo at the end and an encouraging interview for any artist out there. Great stuff highly recommend all 3 art book.
Many pages of great coloured art
The Art of Naruto contains art done for the comic book covers and the Shonen Jump Weekly. The hard cover book is well bind and the paper stock is great. There's no dust jacket. The first page is actually a multi-fold page that unfolds to a wider page. For collectors of the manga comic book, the illustrations presented here will not be unfamiliar, except they are printed in a larger format. The colour reproduction is great. There are over 110 pages of them. A detailed step-by-step tutorial on creating the comic is included at the end. It's informative to read about the workflow and type of tools used to create the Naruto comic. Lastly, several pages are devoted to an interview with Masashi Kishimoto. It talks mainly about the characters and a little on himself. (More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)
Bright, exciting and fun!
I actually used this to cut out pictures for some decorative artwork, and it is great! Also has a little stories about each picture and when/why it was created. The artwork is bright and vibrant and I recomend it for any Naruto fan!!
Uzumaki Naruto Art
Kishimoto Masashi's /Naruto/ art book is just as it sounds: Another manga \ pictures from the creator art book. It's been done before. The only people who would probably appreciate it are art students interested in comics, or fans of the popular Naruto series. However, for those who do buy this book, well, it's beautiful, to say the very least. The book separated into sections, each containing a poem or snippet I assume was written by Kishimoto-san. For the publishers, VIZ Media, what I praise most about this book is the fact that they left the original Japanese print that went along with some of the pictures and translated off to the side. For some, this might be a nuisance, but for a student of the language, it's a good way to test themselves. Now, onto the book itself. Most of the pictures are cover spreads or pictures that have appeared on the cover of /Shonen Jump/ magazine. Thus, they have more than likely been seen by fans before. However, these pictures are uninterrupted by the text that goes on the covers of that magazine, and have - in the back of the book, sort of like the index - an explanation from Kishimoto-san himself explaining the thought processes and work that went into every picture. The art showcases pictures drawn up to volume twenty-four of the manga. The extras include an interview with Kishimoto-san basically speaking more of the creation of Naruto and ideas he puts into motion. Also, there is a step-by-step feature of how to draw the front cover using the same tools as Kishimoto-san himself. In the end, this book is a great buy for Naruto fans and those who want to learn from Kishimoto-san's style. Or for those who just respect the art. However, in the end, it was made for fans of the series, just as all manga art books are.
Amazing pictures!
I purchased this book for my boyfriend who loves watching the anime. I wanted him to also appreciate all the hard work put into the artwork too and he loves this book! It's even made him re-read the anime all over again from the beginning. Even though I'm not a Naruto fan, I really enjoyed going through this whole art book. It's amazing how there are so many intricate details that are carefully constructed to make sure a wonderful artwork. This book even inspired me to draw some anime ^_^
old school illustrations
this is a collection of his first ever illustrations through-out the first NARUTO series (NARUTO: shippuuden is the sequel)! i enjoy looking at his old work. i love how he portrays each character. i'm especially drawn to Naruto's rebellious attitude in each picture. as a bonus, masashi kishimoto reveals a walk-through process of his drawings. he puts a lot of work into his art and it definitely shows! this is a must-have for any NARUTO fan! i'll cherish this and NARUTO ILLUSTRATION BOOK(Shippuuden) forever. i'd like to draw some fan art in this style. this book is perfect for character reference!
